Version 9 won't recognize Xpress 512 interfaces

Post by Bobnjul »

Using OS 10.10 Yosemite... on a Late 2012 Mac Mini i5 with 4GB. ShowXpress will not recognize my 2 Xpress 512 interfaces with version 9 beta or version 9.1. It works perfectly in 8.2.28. I can't seem to understand why.

Hey mate

As listed here: https://forum.thelightingcontroller.com ... f=2&t=5789

V9 has new USB drivers and you must update to the new version in order for your computer to see the interfaces.

@ TimH
The usb drivers are exclusively for Windows.
On MacOS, V9 is supposed to find the interface without any additional file to add/install.

@ Bobnjul
It works here.
It would be great to get feedback from other Mac people.

@ other Mac users
Could you please tell us if V9 finds your dmx interface with your Mac computer ?

Thank you Cablecr69 for your answer.

Unfortunately we do not have Yosemite, but we have Mavericks (10.9) which is one version older than Yosemite.
And our Mavericks finds the dmx interface.
So there is a good chance it works with Yosemite as well.

Hey folks, I'm new to the forum and just upgraded ShowXpress from a very old version to v9.2.3. I'm running a Mac Mini (late 2012) w/8GB RAM and Mac OS X (Yosemite) on a single universe. I'm having the same issue described by the user in this thread (dongle not recognized). I've tried setting GPS and made sure the Default Universe box is unchecked. Still no luck. Any suggestions for what to try next? All suggestions welcome! Thx.

V9 is arrived 5 years after Yosemite, so we can not guarantee it will work.
Sorry for that.

Any feedback from a Yosemite user will be welcome.

Please check also that there is not a special setting for the DMX universes mapping (main menu "Preferences" -> tab "DMX universes").
It is advised to uncheck this option for the test.
